BBC Worldwide at the new White City Media Centre, in London.

BBC:   “The globe has already been integrated into some of the BBC hosting TV specials, such as Comic Relief and Children In Need and has featured in the BBC Watchdog programmes”.

Collaboratively working with our client, our brief was to produce a custom fibreglass BBC Worldwide globe for the large ground floor vestibule at the Media Centre in London’s White City. The area is a much used space, both for corporate hosting and as a global living room, designed with the objective of creating a dynamic space that would be a celebration of people working together.

We produced a 5 metre GRP moulded sphere to be used to project onto showing the news and current affairs, manufacturing it in a white matt finish to ensure that there was no degradation of image. Beneath the sphere we also made custom fibreglass seating for those wanting to watch smaller screens.

The large split globe has not only provided the area with an innovative media serving solution to promote awareness of all BBC businesses, but has also become an iconic feature of the building’s atrium.
